Northern Regional Housing Authority

Northern Regional Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity and housing authority based in Taos, New Mexico that receives formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing serving low-income residents in the northern New Mexico region. The organization acts exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of its 85 recent awards are prime grants; no subcontract activity).

Northern Regional Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office funding across two core grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Recent operating fund awards include a $302,243 formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, a $397,234 formula grant for the same period, and a $215,993 formula grant, all designated for operations and maintenance of public housing inventory. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides four-year capital grants to finance modernization, development, management improvements, and emergency repairs to public housing units as specified in approved five-year action plans. A representative capital award of $2,062,567 runs from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including infrastructure improvements and energy efficiency upgrades to NRHA's public housing inventory.

All 85 awards in the source data represent funding from a single customer — the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office — reflecting the formulaic nature of these grants, which allocate to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide serving nearly one million units. Activity has remained flat and consistent at eight awards per year across the past five years, with $34.3 million in combined dollars obligated across the entire award portfolio. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal cycles. Northern Regional Housing Authority does not hold federal contracts or compete on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is confined to recurring formula grant allocations for public housing operations and capital improvements under the 1937 Housing Act framework.
